Beigua Park, Genoa

The amazing thing about Beigua Park, the largest in Liguria at nearly 40.000 hectares (99,000 acres), is the variety of experiences you can have on a simple walk. Nestled between the sea and the mountains, one may happen upon a wolf and few minutes later sight a whale. For the rest, there are many reasons of interest: those passionately fond of flowers will find some very interesting native species, experts in archaeology will want to stop for a while to look at the rock formations, art and architecture lovers will admire Tiglieto Abbey, the first Cistercian construction outside France, or the 17th-century convent, Carmelitani’s Desert Hermitage. Food lovers will not want to miss out on local treats like cheese and jam.
